The newest addition.....

[Panama]

I didn't see a "Non-Dog" section, so I guess this fits in the "Non-Dobe" section .... LOL

This is our newest addition...that just arrived today. Her name is Libby.


She is a Pot Belly Pig(let).
She isn't too keen on being handled much (yet), BUT... around here, she will overcome
that pretty quick.

How cute! Those guys get big! Our boarding farm had one and she lived in a stall, her name was Petunia and poor girl was blind but it was kinda cute to hear her snorts and squeals when we'd go in to feed her.

OMG Panama - what are you doing building a farm??? Too funny she does look precious and just kidding.

Aww I love all pigs, but the pot bellies are adorable - even when they grow up.

I can't wait to see photos as she grows up!

 

[dobex3]

I am soooooo jealous. I love her!

Growing up there was a pot bellied pig that lived down the road from our apartment complex. He loved kids and would often escape to come play with us. He was the coolest dude. Libby is so cute.

There is a farmer in our county has developed breeding a micro pig, they seem to be doing great and selling lots of them even exporting them to other countries, they are tiny , here is a picture of some

I was looking at the Juliana's. As with any animal, you have to make sure you are dealing with a responsible breeder.
Those micro-minis run $500 and up. Highest ones I've seen were $3000. Full grown they aren't but 20-30 lbs.

Right now Libby is too small to stay outside at night. I have a 10x20 pen set up for her. Even now, I can't leave her out
there by herself. We have hawks that might scoop her up thinking she was a rabbit or something! She's smaller then
a football. Anyway, she will be an outdoor pig for the most part.

She is adorable!!!

Dang that is kinda cool ! Congratulations

 

[Deepblue]

Those things are awesome!

Took a few pics of Libby today...
The one with the frisbee was to show you how small she is...


She still isn't too keen on being picked up, but once I get her up close to me, she's fine.
She'll fall asleep on my lap in the evening, and I'll lay her in her dog crate (shhh don't tell
her it's a dog crate, I told her it was a piggy house!)

(shhh don't tell

We won't tell! She is just adorable and boy, small enough for a hawk for sure! Thanks for posting up more pics!!

 

[Panama]

Yeah, hubby is going to get netting to put over the top of the pen. But in the meantime, I stay out with her
while she's outside.

 

[Judith]

Wow she is small , but like Dobes they do grow fast

 

[JanS]

Oh gosh, I just want to pick her up and snuggle her! Did I mention I love pigs?

My Mom taught me early that pigs are among the cleanest animals out there since they always find a potty spot to keep using and would love nothing more than to have a clean place to live as long as the owner keeps up with them. So when people refer to pigs as being dirty it ticks me off.
